So what HAVE you been doing?

Nearly a week since my last blog, so what has happened in the interim? Work has happened…. A lot. So it has been mainly crosstraining to build fitness with a one hour row on Saturday. In terms of preparation for Friday evening though, I did an hour on the crosstrainer at luchtime today and then another hour this evening after getting in from work, just to give my body an introduction to split exercise. Still reckon it is in for a shock come Friday evening.

ROWVEMBER….. 24 hour rowing marathon for teams of 6 to split between them as they see fit. The plan at the moment for our team is to row 30 mins on, and 2.5 hours off, getting in sleep and food wherever possible. It’s going to be quite an experience….

The other news of the day is that my chosen charity for London 2013 have made contact. The post arrived with a welcome letter, possible training planner fundraising tips and my vest…..My bright ORANGE vest.

 A little different to the subtle blue one I wore last time around and I did take a couple of shots with me wearing it but it wouldn't be fair to inflict them on you at this stage. Maybe I'll use them in a few months time for a "before and After" pic….. It did make it slightly more real though and as soon as Rowvember is complete, time on my feet is what it will be about.
